"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep," Obama cautioned. Young and charismatic but with little experience on the national level, Obama smashed through racial barriers and easily defeated ...

<quoted text>In a poll it was shown 60% of the population does not trust MSM. These fact checkers are MSM and so their viewpoints are reflected in some of their "fact checking". Are you calling the majority of the population wing-nuts because they do not agree with your viewpoint? Hmmmm

Oh I like that. "In a poll"

But you're not going to tell us what poll.

And BTW.....FOX is part of the MSM as those who think a whole shyte load of folks watch FOX would indicate.

I hope you lose big time. You are so full of shit if you're eyes aren't brown already, they are now.

How do you know how much Romney has given to private individuals who were struggling or donated to these hospitals?

How many people has Obama helped out or donated to hospitals or gave anything out of his own pocket to benefit others?

He couldn't even help the people in the slums in his district for 8 years - one of them was owned by his own Valerie Jarrett, the power behind the throne.

He cares nothing about the poor. He only cares about them giving him the power to control them.

<quoted text>As usual, the Republican claim begins with a real fact. The Affordable Care Act really does reduce Medicare spending by more than $700 billion over the next ten years. And while some of those cuts represent efforts to reduce overpayments to private insurers in the Medicare Advantage program, some of those cuts represent reductions in what hospitals will make for taking care of Medicare patients.An independent analysis of the Affordable Care Act suggested that some hospitals might not be able to adapt these reductionsand that, as a result, 15 percent would become unprofitable. If that happens, they might stop seeing as many Medicare patients, forcing seniors to wait longer for care. Or Congress might decide to ease up on the cuts, cause the law's total cost to rise.The analysis comes from Richard Foster, Medicares chief actuary. He is smart and honest, so you should take what he says seriously. But plenty of smart and honest analysts take a different view.They point out that the Affordable Care Act doesnt simply make crude, across-the-board payment reductionsas, say, the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 did. Instead, Obamacare also introduces incentives designed to reward efficiency. In addition, the Affordable Care Acts expansion of coverageremember, it will mean 30 million additional Americans have insuranceshould reduce the number of uninsured people showing up at the emergency room, easing the charity care burden on hospitals.Keep in mind that the hospital industry endorsed the Affordable Care Act. If it had thought the cuts were too steep, rest assured, it would have howled. To be clear, Foster could be right that hospitals will struggle. But would 15 percent of hospitals losing money be a disaster? In most industries, it wouldnt be.(If theres a line of business where 85 percent of companies break even or make a profit, year after year, please let me know. Id like to invest.)Health care isnt just any other business and Foster, quite appropriately, worries that these providers might reduce services in ways that affect beneficiaries adversely. But some hospitals probably should become unprofitable, because they offer redundant services that drive up the cost of care. And conservatives should know this as well as anybody, because their entire theory of Medicare reform is that cutthroat competition among providers will produce a more efficient health care system. In cutthroat competition, there are always losers.Which leads us to the real problem with conservatives making this argument. Lets suppose Foster is right that 15 percent of providers will start losing money and that, as a result, seniors will have more trouble getting care. The same thing would happen under the conservative plans, because they cut just as much money, if not more, from Medicare.Len Nichols, a well-known health economist and director for George Mason Universitys Center for Health Policy Research and Ethics:http://chhs.gmu.edu/faculty-and-staff/nichols...Rick Fosters non-partisan analysis was that 15% of hospitals could not withstand the spending reduction targets of the ACA as they go into effect in 2018 and beyond. It then follows, as the night the day, that they, and probably more hospitals, could not withstand the significantly tighter expenditure controls of the Ryan Budget.http://www.tnr.com/blog/plank/106299/medicare...

Keep adjusting those blinders. Foster is the head of Medicare and Medicaid spending in the Obama administration.

This article just proved the other sources (AP and WSJ) were correct. The author of your article wrote:

"Foster, quite appropriately, worries that these providers might reduce services in ways that affect beneficiaries adversely. But some hospitals PROBABLY SHOULD become unprofitable."

carol's clitoris wilts under the pressure, just like her husband in Korea when he ran down Pork Chop Hill screaming, "I love wontons, don't shoot!" Goddam commies...

<quoted text>Math is formal logic. Formulas have specific values.I respect that you prefer Romney to Obama, but not with your unsupported arguments in support of your preference. Citing corporations and people who share your preference also adds no weight to your preference.

Think of this election as having an old run-down car that keeps breaking down everytime you turn around and a newer model which hasn't been tested yet but is a much better bet on what you have now.

You have nothing to lose by choosing the other car and the possibility it will run better or having no transportation if you keep the one you have.

In a Survey USA/Denver Post poll, Romney leads Obama by one point, 48%-47%.

According to the poll, the Colorado voters who changed their minds the most after the Denver debate were college-educated voters. The Post notes that Obama led among college-educated voters by five points before the debate and Romney leads by five points after the debate.

<quoted text>On 14th street? It's obviously been a few decades since you've turned any tricks in DC?

Must be hard for you after all these years, huh? Well, you know what they say. If you fall off the donkey, you have to get right back on. Why didn't ya? What happend? Did the women run dry, or did you run out of Obama Care money?
